Prescription Overdriver

Sign in to disble this ad
I bought a Prescription Overdriver (Colorsound Overdriver clone) recently for guitar (which it sounds fantastic with) and decided to give it a shot with bass too and it sounds pretty cool. I imagine it would peel some paint through a loud SVT.
I made a quick mp3:

I believe musictoyz.com has them. I believe they're $180 new.

That thing has massive low end. You can tell it's a Colorsound clone too, to my ears it sound like a less intense version of a tonebender.

Circuitwise it's not really anything like a Tone Bender though, up until about 2 o'clock on the drive knob it acts as a clean boost and then fuzzes out after that. Has the 2 band eq which does allow a lot of the bass to come through.

To me it just sounds like they have similar characteristics to the dirt, I didn't mean that the pedals were all that similar.
